Wonderful experience at 10 Butchers on Christmas Eve. Jeremi was our Server/Cook and she was awesome! She made us feel really welcome. Every cut of meat was incredible and cooked perfectly, from the brisket to the wagyu. Didn’t know I needed white kimchi in my life until now – thanks Jeremi! When the ice cream was delish! Overall, a fantastic meal and experience. We’ll definitely be back!
They serve really good cocktails as well – old fashioned is well made.
The meat was great, especially marinated short rib and prime ribeye. Even the mushroom was so tasty. I love the truffle salt!
Mark was our server and I have too much nice things to say about him. He’s super friendly, and respond to our requests very patiently. He also cooked the meat perfectly. I’ve been to 10butchers ~5 times, and he is the best server so far!
The only complaint I have is with a female server. She is also Asian, wears glasses and has brown-yellow dyed hair, relatively short and medium body weight. I asked for water refill and she brings cold water, I nicely asked for hot water instead, and she seemed very impatient and unfriendly. She said “you asked for WATER” with super rude and annoyed voice like I did something wrong. This kind of attitude is so rare at this place.
Making a reservation was a bit tricky. You can’t simply pick a time online–you have to fill out your name, contact information, party size, date, and preferred time, then wait for them to confirm or deny your request. I asked for 12:15 for two, but they accepted us at 12:30. It’s an unusual system that might help them manage tables efficiently, but it’s a bit of a hassle for customers.
When we arrived, the restaurant was moderately busy–not packed–and the noise level was comfortable. The vibe is modern, simple, and clean. I’d visited Chungdam a couple of months earlier and found their atmosphere more upscale, though the meat quality at both places is comparable. The premium galbi here might be about $5-$10 less.
We ordered the tofu soup and seafood pancake to start. My friend said the pancake reminded her of a quiche–it was thicker than she preferred, and I agreed. The seafood tofu soup, however, was delicious, and the banchan that came with the meal was all very good. That said, I still prefer Chungdam’s banchan flavors and offerings more–they tasted more authentic similar to those in Seoul.
We also ordered lettuce wraps for our meat (an additional charge) and settled on the galbi and pork belly. Both were delicious. Overall, the food was solid, but it was the company that made the experience great. We didn’t try any of the drinks because my friend doesn’t drink alcohol.
Our server was very attentive–grilling and cutting our meats, pouring the tofu soup, and plating the seafood pancake for us individually. That level of service isn’t always standard at other Korean BBQ spots, and the price reflects that extra care.
Parking was easy at lunchtime, with free lot parking and available street spaces. I can imagine it being more difficult at dinner, but we may have just gotten lucky.
She told us that the minimum order of meat for two people is two meat dishes. I’m not sure if that’s actually a strict rule, but we agreed. She also mentioned several times that the portions were very small. In our opinion, the portions were completely normal — honestly, one steak would have been enough for us.
The overall atmosphere felt very hectic. Staff were constantly moving around, and the waitress was at our table very frequently. At one point I moved the plates to arrange them in a way that felt more comfortable, but she moved them back.
I understand that some people might appreciate this style of service, but we were hoping for a more relaxed and private dining experience. Instead, it felt like we were being closely managed the entire time.
What stood out the most was the tone of the interaction. As customers, you expect to feel welcomed, but the experience felt more like we were being told how things had to be done. It almost felt as if we were guests expected to follow the waitress’s rules rather than customers simply trying to enjoy a meal.
Unfortunately, the overall service left us with a negative impression after our visit.

The food quality was decent, but the service pace ruined the entire experience. The staff cooked everything for us at an incredibly fast pace, piling food on our plates without a break. We felt like the main goal was to get us out the door as quickly as possible for a high table turnover rate. It completely defeated the purpose of a sit-down meal with friends. We left feeling stuffed and stressed, not satisfied.
